I'm not keen on birds. Yes, they're very nice and pretty and stuff outside but I'm uncomfortable being near them.
Have you ever looked into a bird's eyes? Really looked? They're insane! OkapiPrincess says - and I agree with her - that birds remember being dinosaurs, they remember the ripping and tearing and consuming of bloodied flesh, the snapping of bones and the playing with entrails and... they'd do it again at a moments notice!
"Pretty Polly"? Pretty Polly'd have your eye out before you could reach for the cracker!
They're evil I tell you! EVIL!
